196. The Lord of Life Is Risen | 7.6.7.6.D. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | The Lord of life is risen, |
| Has left the darksome grave, |
| And, death by Him abolished, |
| He's mighty now to save; |
| And we with Him are risen, |
| The fruit of all His toil, |
| The firstfruits of His harvest, |
| His suffering's richest spoil. |
|
| 2 | The Lord of life is seated |
| At God's right hand on high, |
| God's just and righteous answer |
| To grace which stooped to die; |
| In Him we too are seated, |
| Oh blessed, wondrous grace! |
| Accepted and belovèd, |
| In Him, in sonship's place. |
|
| 3 | The Lord of life is coming |
| To perfect all His grace; |
| To take His blood-bought people |
| To fill their heavenly place; |
| Oh, with what joy ascending |
| We'll meet Him in the air, |
| To dwell with Him in glory |
| And His blest image bear. |
